Keith Olbermann on what really matters when it comes to health reform
Last night Keith Olbermann dedicated his entire show to an hour long special comment on health care reform.
From the transcript:
"Since August 23rd of this year I have interacted daily with our American Health Care system and often done so to the exclusion of virtually all other business. It is not undercover reporting, and it is not an expert study of the field, but since that day, when my father slid, seemingly benignly, out of his bed and onto the floor of his home, I have experienced with growing amazement and with multiplying anger, the true state of our hospitals, our doctor's offices, our insurance businesses, our pharmacies.
"My father's story as a patient and mine as a secondary participant and a primary witness has been eye-opening and jaw-dropping. And we are among the utterly lucky ones, a fact that, by itself, is terrifying and infuriating.
"And thus tonight, for all those who we have met along the way, those with whom we have shared the last two months inside the belly of the beast, and for everyone in this country who will be here and right soon tonight, Countdown will be devoted entirely to a Special Comment on the subject of health care reform in this country."

Keith is calling on people to donate to the National Association of Free Clinics, to open free clinics in the states of the blue dog Dems to let them see first hand why we need health reform, and to put political pressure on them to stop being a road block in the way of health reform. I intend to donate.
